Because of this prominence in public life, we have found it necessary to assemble for our Annual Class Alumnae Meeting at the new Metropolis Opera House. At this palatial building the members ofthe Class of '35 are mingled with the other mem- bers ofthe Alumnae to hear the one, great, internationally known operatic genius of this generation, our own Signorina Helen Fillis, as she plays her 33rd performance of Carmen', this year. We find the petite Miss Loretta Long in a supporting role. A hum,-a buzz,-and the lights are centered on the landing dome which has been constructed on the top of this new opera house. A plane is landing,-D 93- the audience is hushed,-and from the plane emergeswwho, but our own Miss Dorothy E. Driscoll, the Hying correspondent ofthe London Timex. A clamorous acclamation ascends from the throng but silence is demanded. We see our friend, Miss Grace Bishop, the historian, stepping lightly from the plane of her classmate, who picked her up at London, from her return trip of exploration in South Africa, where she has been gathering material for her new book. This manuscript is to be entitled Dark Clouds. The excitement is being quelled as our new arrivals are taken care of, and now we can once again settle ourselves into the comfortable seats and scan our programs. A What is that F-On page three, our attention is arrested by the notice that the Misses Gertrude McCarty and Frances Hogan have volunteered to undertake the settings and stage arrangements of this particular performance. We need not tell you of their fame as interior decorators. Since they started to work cooperatively at college, they determined to form a partnership, which we see has been successful. The lull of the audience is gradually broken and finally a peak of excitement is reached, when the guest announcer, Miss Kathleen Keenan, Cknown as the foremost Wall Street woman brokerj announces the arrival of those two inseparable friends, the Misses Mahala Sherman and Roselyn Zampella. Mahala has achieved success as editor ofthe Golden Bookg but she has not surpassed our Roselyn in renown. Roselyn has added extensively to the findings and to the support of, that eternally remembered scientist, Pasteur. What is Miss Sherman receiving? And from whom is she receiving it? Well, well, it is Miss Theresa Hendron who has handed to the editor a copy of Coronation of Kevin l, new Irish Monarch and apologizing for its tardiness,fbut good copy is always late. The announcer is holding up her hand-Did you catch their names? Oh why it couldn't be, but yea it is he himself, Vice President Eldridge, with his very competent and attractive secretary, Miss Eileen Cleary, who has been known as the most popular diplomat in the United States. ls the curtain going up? No, Miss Renee 78 X1

5 ,i he ,sl tv,v V , f algi ii its This, being our last year the Seniors entered wholeheartedly into the spirit of the retreat. Then came Christmas with the banquet and traditional carols. In what more fitting manner could the daughters of Good Counsel have honored the birth of the Infant Christ than by their songs, when as a band of happy troubadours, they sang the ancient carols as they slowly wound their way from Preston Hall to the Chapel, where kneeling beside the crib they adored the Infant in Benediction ofthe Most Blessed Sacrament. As Spring came our settings seemed to grow more beautiful than ever. Events crowded one upon the other and our play was gradually reaching its climax. -In Feb- ruary the Annual Debate was held in the college auditorium and the Kearney Medal for Debating was awarded to Kathleen Keenan, '35, Social activities called and we held our Glee Club Concert and our Fashion Show and then our last Spring Dance. It seemed as though even so gay and joyous an event as this could reveal a touch of solemnity as we realized that this was to be our last Senior Dance. As we appear on the stage of our Alma Mater for the last time now, and realize that no longer will we walk under the majestic tenderness of our beloved pines-no longer will we know the daily companionship of those we have learned to call Ufriendsngno longer will this Chapel bell gather us to the Shrine of Our Lady of Good CounselAas we think of these things we are set to wondering, where is there room for joy? To you. through whose sacrifice and devotion we have been enabled to reap the benefits of our days at Good Counsel we can only say that life will be all too short to repay you. Let us only add that when future years widen the gap that parts us,we shall ever remain faithful daughters ofAlma Mater. VVe shall not forgetfwe cannot.

A--si: .fvg.a1r'e- . ,N A , Dufour, the first woman director ofthe First Philharmonic Orchestra is having her band strike up the National Anthem. With the termination ofthe patriotic selection we can see two shining examples of American pulchritude and health, passing through the portals. The two cousins: Miss Winifred Fisher, who has become Dean of Savage College and added to its curriculum a course entitled Grace and Form in Discus Throwing and with her is the one and only Grace Creavy, international golf champion, victor over both men and women. Who is that accompanied by two young girls? Why it is Miss Marie Bulger, founder ofthe American Catholic Academy in Toronto, with two of her presumably star pupils, and now she is waiting to have a word or two with Miss Catherine Lewit, who is head of the department of mathematics at the American University, and we know that Miss Lewit's pupils make good use of a book en- titled The Long and Short of Mathematical Problems which has been jointly completed by the Misses Mary Leach and Muriel Clark. Why who is that sophisticated person with a simple demure companion? Why it is Miss Virginia Adams, the international socialite, who has just returned from the Riviera and had a pleasant visit with the intellectual Misses Dolores Koch and Elizabeth Falls. Dolores spent a year at Athens to acquire a more thorough knowl- edge of her beloved Greek. Elizabeth has had a short sojourn in Rome delving into the manuscripts ofthe ancient Romans. The Hashlights are blazing, their noises resounding, as the reporters try to get a few words from the editor of the Women's Realm, Miss Louise Siciliano, who is more interested in trying to get over to the entrance ofthe Opera House and who succeeds in reaching it. Miss Eleanor McCabe, head of the business staff, is in the employ of Commander Richard E. Byrd. And who is that making so demure an entrance with such a dignified gentleman? Why the young lady is Miss Margaret O'Connorg she was married last year. How- ever, her new standing has not interferred with her zealous interest in the field of social service. Introductions are being made, the husband of Margaret is meeting Dr. Genevieve O'Neill who has become renowned as a Pediatrician, and recom- mended the nurses to care for the children of Geraldyne Murphy who is now entering the foyer, fashionably gowned after having tucked her dear youngsters into bed for the night. Sirens, it can't be a fire alarm? Why no it,s merely the Misses Marie McNulty and Veronica Murphy, arriving with a police escort. You know it was through the efforts of Miss McNulty that the city was able to purchase the property for this theatrical structure for so reasonable a price. We know of many of Marie's successful dealings as a real estate broker. Her dear friend, Veronica, since completing her study oflaw in ,39 has handled the legal end of a real estate business. 79 -w X-r , A 2 5 fi Q X
